A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Among the various concentration camps established by the Nazis during World War II, Dachau holds the distinction of being the first one opened, nearly seven years prior to Germany’s official declaration of war.
The Nazi government inaugurated the first concentration camp at Dachau, Germany, in March 1933. This location has been restored and maintained as a Holocaust memorial in honor of the countless individuals who suffered and perished there from 1933 until its liberation in 1945. Numerous tours originate from nearby Munich, but visitors can also travel independently using public transportation.
